Mercer BPX Breaking Butcher Knife, 8 Inch M13713

Great knife at a great price... Got it on time.. very sharp knife Does good at trimming large pieces, and great at cutting steaks

Very sharp out of the package but mine came a weee bit toothy from the factory. Tiny bit of burr on the cutting edge. A few passes over a 1000 grit stone and a strop and it fell through a large rib roast with a single push and pull. Perfect cuts -- flat, lovely steaks fall off the roast one by one. I love it. It's one of the 6 knives with a permanent spot on the magnet by my cutting board. If you're looking for a great chef knife, grab the 8" from this very product line. It's my best friend in the kitchen.

I work as a meat cutter, spending many hours breaking down and portioning primals. This 8" mercer bpx breaking knife is a favorite of mine. The hard steel keeps and edge well at 15 deg. The handle is very comfortable for long use. I prefer the Mercer handles to most other knives (F. Dick ergogrip are very comfortable and durable as well). I also use the Mercer bpx 10" breaking knife, Mercer bpx 10" American style granton Butcher Knife, and several Mercer boning knives. Mercer offers great value comparatively.

Love this knife. Bought it to go with my other knives I use to butcher meat with. Very sharp and hold edge well. Easy to touch up when needed. Very comfortable feel when using. Perfect knife for cutting steaks.

Good quality knife. I have other mercer knives and they're really nice

I have come to realize that the price of knives matters more about beauty and craftmanship than actual function. I have used straight blade high-end German carving knives for years, thinking they were the best but I always saw butchers using curved, stainless knives. I finally got frustrated and figured i would try an affordable one and it is amazing. Its no frills but functions great and holds an edge. I have owned it for a few months and haven't even had to sharpen it yet. I just run it across a ceramic honing blade once a week and it has stayed razor sharp. No so with German carving knives that I have to sharpen twice a month with honing in between. I cook several hours each day so my knives all get used heavily. Today I used this knife to debone and cut up 10 chicken thighs and it did a great job. I break down chickens with it, clean up and cut whole beef filets. Has done well on any type of whole cut meats. It will slice tomatoes, although I like small serrated tomato knives for that. It is not meant for chopping vegetables but you could probably get away with slicing them in both directions if this is one of your only knives. highly recommended.

German knives have always been made of good steel. This is no exception. I enjoy using it. It is comfortable in the hand. Stayed sharp for several days now. I hit it with the steel every once in a white. At the end of the day it is still going. I enjoyed it so much I bought the Mercer Culinary Mercer BPX, 10-Inch, Cimeter M13610 as well I used them everyday all day long great knives.

Outstanding knife for the $$ Used to process bone-in Rib roast to no bone Ribeye steaks. It produced nice clean cuts

I needed a good knife for cutting up big chunks of meat like full ribeye roasts into steaks. I wasn't expecting much when I saw the price but it performs great and holds an edge pretty good too. The handle is great. Offers a lot of control, doesn't slip and is pretty comfortable. This knife is a win and the price is great too.

Making steaks, trimming fat. Old knife was junk

Amazing knife!

Very sharp knife. Great for cutting meat!

Very comfortable . Sharp blade. Easy to handle. I use it for roasts and to cutting steaks from whole prime rib.
